![]() ![]() I really liked the playful yet natural chemistry that Graham and Brown had. Overall, I enjoyed Netflix’s first holiday movie for 2018. And just like a romance novel, this movie ends as expected: with Abby and Josh getting together AND the two of them opening the studio Abby had her eye on earlier in the film. However, it wasn’t in the form of someone new like she assumed it turns out Josh, who has always been there for her, was the right guy all along. Yet the advent calendar still brings love to Abby, just as it did her grandmother. Abby then realizes they’ve never really connected on a deeper level and breaks up with him. He takes her on elaborate dates and they seem to like each other’s company. But when she shows him her magical advent calendar he scoffs at the idea it’s predicting her future. For the next couple of days, the calendar produces figurines that continue to bring the mystery man, Ty (Ethan Peck), into her life.Īt first, she enjoys the time she spends with Ty. Then the calendar produces a Christmas tree figurine for the second day and later that night she runs over a mystery man’s Christmas tree as it falls off the roof of his car. Initially, she thinks nothing of it, that it was just a coincidence. For example, on the first day, the calendar’s gift is a little figurine of a pair of boots later that day, she’s gifted with a pair of boots Josh bought her while traveling overseas. ![]() Abby soon discovers the contents behind each day’s door seems to predict her future. “I’d probably get some of these questions about my future answered,” she says, sounding kind of defeated before she’s even tried.Īt a family gathering, her grandfather (Ron Cephas Jones) gifts her with an antique advent calendar that originally belonged to Abby’s grandmother and which she claimed brought the two of them together years ago. He pushes Abby to pursue her dreams by asking a compelling question: what would happen if you just went for it? At first, Abby doesn’t seem totally opposed to the idea of “just going for it,” but her actual response suggests she’s not entirely convinced it’s even possible. Her best childhood friend, Josh (Quincy Brown), just got back from traveling the world as a visual artist and living up to his potential as a photographer. She wants a life bigger than that and dreams of opening up her own studio where she and other artists can “create and help support one another.” The Holiday Calendar, starring Kat Graham, tells the story of Abby, a talented photographer who is currently working at the local photography studio, which she hates, in order to make ends meet. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Graham has also been cast as Morgan Freeman’s daughter in the film The Poison Rose, which also stars Forest Whitaker and John Travolta.
